Anyone with
a truck knows you need to have solid, sturdy truck floor
mats. These protect your truck's floor from getting torn up
and dirty. When looking for mats, you have many materials to
choose from, including rubber, plastic, and carpet.
Depending on how much you want to invest, you can find mats
for as little as $5 or as expensive as $100. Most people
decide to go somewhere in the middle. Your choice of mat
will also depend on what you use your truck for.

If you use
your truck in a field or pasture, you are going to want to
go with a sturdy, heavy duty material. One excellent option
is made by Weathertech. The company's truck floor mats are
ridged rubber that can protect the floor from water, debris,
animals, and people. A set of two mats costs just under $50,
which is right in the mid-range. These tough mats are
available both online and in stores. Most auto specialty
stores will carry them.

If you do
not spend a lot of time in dirty or muddy places, a set of
carpet truck floor mats would be suitable for you. Carpet
style mats add a second layer of protection to your truck
floor while still maintaining the original look of the
truck. While most trucks will already come with a set of
floor mats, these may or may not suit your needs. Or, you
may find that the factory mats are getting worn down and
out. That would call for a replacement. Intro-Tech makes
mats that follow the previously mentioned guidelines. The
mats are made of carpet, and they can be found online for
less than $30.

For
something in between the carpet and the heavy rubber truck
floor mats, you will find the plastic mats. These usually
have pegs on the bottom to keep them in place in the floor.
These mats cost between $5 and $20, depending on the size
you need. They are available at a variety of places,
including home improvement stores, auto stores, and general
mass merchandise stores.

Finally,
some people use truck floor mats for purely decorative
purposes. They are available with sports team logos, cartoon
characters, even custom artwork and text. These mats are
typically not as high quality as some of the other mats, but
if your mats do not see heavy usage, this will not matter to
you. Sometimes you can find decorative truck floor mats very
low prices. For example, at Big Lots, you can find rubber
mats with Looney Tunes characters like Bugs Bunny or Tweety
Bird for less than $10.
